Canvassing with my 86 year old Foster Dad for the first time in

#fostering
The man that changed my life and the lives of 11 other of fostered children, after raising two of his own; my foster dad, Don Hassell is 92 today. Happy Birthday Dad 🎂🎆🎂💐 ☺️
36 years ago I didn't even own a pair of shoes, I had a set of sticks for a calculator and I would plough the fields each morning with my granny before school. Coming to

Duty👇 Passion👇
On the campaign trail this afternoon - I came across this young man as he went around door to door in
#Hounslow
with copies of his CV looking to get his first ever job. We chatted and he was so
#inspiring
- We've managed to secure him an interview with local restaurant tonight 🤞🏿
This bloke is never far away. Thank you Don Hassell for being the best dad any son can ever wish for!! A true gentleman always looking out for others. I aspire to live to your mark and help the next generation
My sisters always make an appearance to support our campaign effort. It was great to knock on doors with them by my side today

. I want to thank All those that came out to vote and extend my hand a friendship to all my opponents who made this the most contested ward in Chiswick.
Responses in Hounslow are encouraging for
@Councillorsuzie
and I but we must keep up the pressure so more Londoners are aware of how awful Khan has been to their pockets, their safety and their voice
#LondonAssembly

I went to speak with residents and local businesses in
#Surbiton
. Zero support for

given the current economic situation. It hurts small businesses and the least well off who can't afford to replace their old vehicles
No candidate in this

campaigns can claim to have two dads rooting for them. Pa sent for me to come and live with him in London after the deaths of my mum and grandpa. Although, I eventually ended up in fostercare. My foster dad helped to reconnected us. 💙Unites
My Dad and my Foster Dad have both been out on
#ToryCanvass
with me in
#Chiswick
. I am greatful for having them both in my life. Reminds of that saying, it takes a community to raise a child.
My exercise today was a solo litter pick around my block - a bag full aluminium cans and a half bag full of plastic bottles. I know

People no longer have faith in Sadiq Khan - A man who has based his whole political career out blaming others. How can we seriously expect him to grip the issues of crime in London. After 8 years in charge of London!?!
#VoteSusanHall
so we can get tough on these criminals.
I was invited by our PM
@10DowningStreet
this afternoon in the week we are marking
#Windrush75
I spoke directly with our Home Secretary
@SuellaBraverman
who acknowledged the errors of the past. Progress is being made and I look forward to a brighter and more integrated future
Another productive day out on the campaign trail. Stopped off for a scheduled meeting with residents and our
@MPSTurnhamGreen
police team. We are working on a plan to increase the visibility of our ward police officers in Chiswick.
#VisionForChiswick
On my drive back from my Welsh staycation this afternoon I spotted Cllr Malik from the opposition (Labour) doing a litter pick and of course I got stuck in.

Chapeau to
@Gareth_Roberts_
and his team on winning the SW London seat. I wasn't able to make the difference I had wanted, however I can still make a difference in my home village in Uganda by helping to repair their road. Please help us if you can👇🏿
Shoplifting is out of control in London. It's not just a law and order issue - even though Khan has been in charge for 8 years - it is a moral issue and we all have a responsibility as citizens help redress this downward spiral. We need
@Councillorsuzie
to help lead that redress
Campaigning in
#Barnes
this morning. I get the concerns of our residents here. I am someone who has experienced the consequences of inaction by our Law Enforcement. We need to support our police because crime is an urgent matter & we can't have another 4 years with this Mayor

This afternoon I joined Cllr Tak in
#Feltham
alongside
@AartiJo5hi
and
@muraadalic
to listen to residents concerns over the stealth money grab known as the
#ULEZ
expansion. One lady said "So if I pay £4,562 a year, Khan turns a blind eye to the air pollution?"
Back on the door steps this afternoon in

talking to resident about the unwanted

and

issues The common denominator is our current mayor. Notably
@Councillorsuzie
phoned while I was speaking to one resident & we were able to discuss her plans london
Spent an hour of my Sunday afternoon in really good company. Humble residents who truly care about giving back to their community. It's an honour to serve you and work alongside u in taking action & fulfilling our duty as stewards of our local environment

Well done to all who came out to clear the river with us
#ChiswickRiversideCleanup
one young person said to me 'It feel weirdly good be able to do something for the community...' that's what it's all about.

Today, I met a lady who is fed up with the current. She wants action to scrap ULEZ and that so she kindly offered to help me opposing Mayor Khan's unfair

The week of campaigning comes to an end with so many people to thank across five associations. I have spoken with hundreds of residents of all political persuasions. Most agree that
#ULEZ
is a money grab disguiseed as a noble cause.
#StopULEZ
Out the door steps having important conversations in
#SouthWestLondon
about this unfair ULEZ cash grab. Real leadership about recognising that thousands of residents in

are still struggling with costs - they don't need another financial burden
